That the world may trust your promise, Life abundant meant for each, Give us all new fervor, draw us Closer in community: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: "This my body, this my blood." Let us all, for earth's true glory, Daily lift life heavenward, Asking that the world around us Share your children's liberty: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure: "Father, what they do, forgive." Yet we hoard as private treasure All that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us To a just society: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, May we serve as you intend And, amid the cares that claim us, Hold in mind eternity: With the Spirit's gifts empow'r us For the work of ministry.

A thousand ages, in thy sight, are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. 5. Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all who breathe away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6.

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. 2. The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away. Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away; and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away. 3. Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood shall never lose its power till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more. Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more; till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more. 4. E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die; redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. 5. Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to save, when this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave. Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave; when this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1 Used With Tune: CLEANSING FOUNTAIN

This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heavenly table spread for me; here let me feast, and feasting, still prolong the hallowed hour of fellowship with thee. 3. Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 4. Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; the feast, though not the love, is past and gone. The bread and wine remove; but thou art here, nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 5. Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day, that the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away. 4.
